Beat Mina The Hollower. Great game... a couple things held it back from being a 10/10 for me, but I would say it still deserves a lot of praise. Fortunately the difficulty wasn't Silksong crazy, but you will still die, and that's okay.

Is there a reason Bluesky prioritizes showing you things you block over things you like? I could like a bunch of toy collector and video game posts, then block 45 buff guy at the gym accounts, and Bluesky is like "Blocking these gym accounts are the kind of interactions we want. Show him more!"

Explain your @ I play video games and I'm really not great at sleeping.

I know I'm old and not supposed to like new music, but Oliver Tree's music was so catchy I loved it. He just released an excellent album. 32 is too young. RIP.

Man Sundays always have that distinctly "Sunday" feel.

Let them cook? 2029 is the potential release window for ES6. 18 years between main entries is not "letting them cook', it's "We gave up on sequel but maybe we will reboot it in a couple decades." This is letting them burn the house and surrounding neighborhood down.

If you don't have kids it's hard to understand certain milestones are big deals to parents. I know if you're a parent like me, you don't try boring your non-kid friends with kid stuff. But if you don't have kids, TRY to understand how important some things are to parents and be a little supportive.

Imagine playing a fishing game based in Fisherman's Horizon from Final Fantasy 8 but between fishing you can play parts of the actual FF8 story. That's sort of what playing FF7Rebirth felt like.

See if you wanted me to be really excited about Final Fantasy Resonance, tell me Nobuo Uematsu is doing the music.

Well duh of course I will get Xeno and Zelda. Too bad they really didn't show anything for Zelda but I guess they don't need to.

*Sigh* Gonna have to figure out how to convince my Xbox Series X to let me log in again to play Gears of War E Day and Fable.

So what you're telling me is if I'm having a panic attack I should be panicking more if I don't make it profitable?

Please stop saying that after you pulled your hair out and died 50 times and spent 33 years fighting a boss that it was SO SATISFYING beating it. Shush. Please. Of course if you get tortured it feels good when the torture ends. It doesn't necessarily mean something was well designed.

We can all only hope that someday, someone will love us like Capcom loves Resident Evil fans. I think there's been 34 Resident Evil releases since Elder Scrolls 6 was announced.

Very mild, barely a spoiler for Mina the Hollower but good Lord Yacht Club Games did you have to dump every gimmicky idea you had into the Carving Man area?

I'd love to know the real-world inspiration for Billy and Jimmy's haircuts here.

If you're complaining about a movie like He-Man or Mario or Street Fighter or Sonic because it uses nostalgia or references, you're watching these movies for the wrong reasons.

It doesn't seem like people are reporting enough about how the gov gave Dell a $10 billion contract in tax payer money, raising the Dell stock by well over %30 right after Trump and his cronies invested in Dell. So just once again took tax payer money and put it in their pockets.

Man that Ace Combat game would be perfect... if you were fighting Kaiju. That could get me into the series.

Wolverine looks great, but damn there are a lot of people hating on it just for being a AAA Sony release.

Am I the only one that literally rolls my eyes now when I start up a new game and see blatant souls elements in the game? We just gonna do this for the rest of forever?

Nintendo- Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a nice game, but once again you didn't add voice acting. This was a perfect opportunity to give the Mysterious Book a nice story telling voice to vocalize the tons of text you feel obligated to put in every game.

I've played some games recently with a badge or relic system or whatever where you have a very limited number of things you can equip that add to your abilities. This is fine, but some of those abilities are really basic moves that should just be added to your character without taking a slot...

One problem with ending generational trauma is when I was a kid nobody made me feel like I could accomplish something so failing wasn't a big deal. But give a kid actual confidence and all the sudden they get pretty upset when things don't go as they planned.

All the redistricting in the world would probably not work at this point, but it sure does plant the seed to make it look like a stolen win was legit.

I thought DQ11 was pretty great, but it had one major flaw IMO- for a huge game, it had a VERY limited amount of regular background music. Music is important to me for a JRPG, so I hope 12 remedies that.

I started up Yoshi and the Mysterious Book and to those that don't know, like me going into it, the game is about you as Yoshi torturing various creatures and plants to get information out of them.

I've gone almost my whole life having a cat of some kind. Mostly, they've been pretty typical- aloof, cuddles occasionally, begs for food, keeps to themselves. But my current cats are the first time I've had human-needy cats and I'm not sure how I feel about that. There are some personality quirks..

Saw this and thought it made pretty good sense. Unfortunately the real world is more like Resident Evil- the more you're hurt, the slower and more vulnerable you are.

Typically it is considered not polite to insult people to their faces. For some reason their is an exception- everyone is totally comfortable with telling someone they look tired or exhausted. I have news for these people- we know. It's not just a look.

Crimson Desert is best when you're just going on a nature walk.

Beat Sword of the Sea. A very relaxing, pretty game.

I'm not entirely crazy about conspiracy theories, but I think a a good question is: Has this administration made these theories totally plausible?

One of my main shortcomings is that I can make a great, full pot of coffee. But when I only want to make a small pot of coffee, I never get the amount of grounds right.

Got my Yoshi. Have to finish up a couple other things before I start though.

Movie Critic: *wants a movie to be something they know it won't be Movie: *not what the critic wanted Critic: *shits on movie for not catering to them Whoa! Critics are really just one-person fandoms.

So if congress is allowed to break the law because their salary isn't enough, according to themselves, what does that say for the rest of us?

I enjoy MCU stuff but I'm no comic buff. I watch something, like it or not, and move on. But one mistake they did was gloss over half the population being gone for 5 years. Besides Falcon and Winter Soldier they hardly mention it. It should have changed the world with tons of story potential.

Final Fantasy Spirits Within was an interesting if flawed movie that was confused who it was meant to appeal to. That being that, I do like the concept of a now-lifeless planet with a Lifestream crashing into another planet that still has life and mixing with that planet's Lifestream.

I know people pick on Pedro Pascal for being in everything, but if I'm gonna be blunt, I think Emily Blunt has him beat by a mile.

Like most 90s gamers, I'm still waiting on the 3DO's followup, M2, to finally come out. I heard it's even better than the N64!

Me: Oh damn that's expensive. Contractor: Yeah man prices have gone up. Me: I understand. Contractor: Also I'm only 21 and own two homes and a boat. Me: I don't know if I understand anymore.

Emmit Otterton had a really caring wife, but did she know how much time he spent at a nudist colony?

I love the Castlevania series and put on a random review of CV64. The guy spent the first few minutes talking about how he went to great lengths to emulate the experience as genuinely as he could with a genuine N64 controller and an emulator with no bells and whistles. Okay, that seems fine...

I wish game designers never invented stamina bars. Or, as I like to call them, "limit the fun" bars.

Sonic CD Designer #1: Let's make a cool time traveling mechanic! Sonic CD Designer #2: Okay! And we'll make it annoyingly hard to do! Sonic CD Designer #3: Let's also make it practically pointless! *all high five*

No game is perfect, but I do think you can still have 10/10 experiences if a game was fun enough for you. So, that being said, I wanted to post some games by platform that I think achieved a 10/10 for me just for fun...

As a toy collector, I've been surprised that there are toy photographers who will share pics of a figure and get mad if you actually try talking to them about said figure instead of just saying how great their photography is.

Walmart is being weird but when I tried preordering Starfox for the Switch 2, it priced it at $49.99. Which is $10 less than I'm seeing elsewhere. www.walmart.com/ip/Star-Fox-...

As a matter of fact I will be buying Starfox 64 remake.
